"I did their Whitewater Kayaking for Beginners course with my wife and father and it was a blast. We had some really good laughs, we all learned a lot, and it was a great intro into kayaking the James! 10/10 would book again!"

"This was my first experience rafting and I had a wonderful time. Eric was my raft guide. He was very welcoming and patient. It was surprisingly easy. I highly recommend this company. They were punctual at the pickup point and showed a great concern that we were enjoying ourselves."

"My son and I did this for the first time and it was great. Water was a little low but still had a good time. Stopping at jump rock was a blast, got to jump in the river from 15-20 feet above. Lots of good video with my GoPro, recommend taking one if you got it."

"Had the chance to raft the James in Richmond with my family. Had no idea how much fun it would be. It was fantastic. The guides made it great. Noel was on my boat. She really kept us all in line while having a great time. I highly recommend RVA Paddlesports"
